Hangzhou city, a city of timeless beauty, consists of eight districts: Xihu, Gongshu, Jianggan, Xiacheng, Shangcheng,Binjiang, Xiaoshan and Yuhang. Among which, the former five constitute the urban area.

While the name ‘Hangzhou’ is more often used to refer to the urban agglomeration of the metropolitan area that is composed of six core districts, a broader sense of ‘Hangzhou'refers to two districts (Xiaoshan and Yuhang) and five counties/sub-cities (Fuyang, Lin'an, Jiande, Tonglu, Chun'an)
